There is a guy at our gym called Barnaby who is notorious for his amazing mince pies. I have never met this elusive mince pie maker, but through a mutual friend (for the price of a triple chocolate cookie - bargain!) we have agreed to trade baked goods tomorrow evening at the gym. After spin/circuits (depending on your choice of class), showered, changed, carrying the goodies, by the front reception at 7.45pm. I am giddy with excitement. Barnaby has requested brownies, so I have made a sour cherry and macadamia nut batch which I hope will equal his infamous mince pies. I have adapted a Jamie Oliver recipe and added 75g of sour cherries along with 100g of macadamia nuts. I am so looking forward to the clandestine rendezvous and my ensuing mince pie fest!

Aaaahhhhh

About Me

I love cooking,trying new recipes and thankfully exercise and staying fit and healthy! More than this I adore my husband and two sons, oh and the cat. I'm also pretty keen on clothes, accessories, shopping and visiting new places. So this blog will contain ramblings about all this and maybe a little bit more. And lots of examples of the amazing sons' antics no doubt.
